Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of a tailored PICOPREP dosing schedule compared to the day-before PICOPREP dosing schedule in overall colon cleansing in preparation for colonoscopy;Secondary Objective: • To demonstrate the efficacy of ascending, mid (transverse, descending) and recto-sigmoid colon cleansing of a tailored PICOPREP dosing schedule • To demonstrate convenience and satisfaction of a tailored PICOPREP dosing schedule compared to the day-before PICOPREP dosing schedule • To demonstrate the impact of a tailored PICOPREP dosing schedule compared to the day-before PICOPREP dosing schedule on health economics • To evaluate safety and tolerability through the collection of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests and vital signs ;Primary end point(s): • Overall colon cleansing procedure measured by the total Ottawa Scale score during the colonoscopy performed by a colonoscopist blinded to the dosing schedules;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During colonoscopy at visit 3

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Key Secondary endpoint: •Ascending colon cleansing by percentage of subjects classified as success , i.e. excellent or good, measured by the Ottawa Scale at Visit 3 performed by a colonoscopist blinded to the dosing schedules Safety: •Frequency and intensity of adverse events •Clinically significant changes in vital signs (pulse, blood pressure [BP]) •Clinically significant changes in laboratory values ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoints for the secondary end points: Visit 3 Safety: AEs collected at all visits and telephone contact Vital signs measured at all visits Lab parameters measured at visit 1,3 and 4
